I won't be able to help you much there Naomi ... I'm not sure how much similar or different this sort of thing will be with ASP.NET vs. WinForms. I know you can sub-class your GridView class, I just don't know about where to put it and stuff like that.

>>If this functionality is something that you would want in all the grids in your application, then yeah, put it in your MyGridView class. If you only need it for this page and no where else, then you have two choices. Doing it in the event handler like you currently are, or sub-classing your MyGridView class to use here (and put it in your second sub-class).
